Youth Development

We are a 10-12 year program that coaches San Francisco students to become the first in their families to graduate from college ready to pursue careers that are meaningful to them!

We empower limited means K-12 youth and their families to overcome individual challenges in order to achieve healthier and more fulfilling lives. Through out-of-school programming, and using a long-term, relationally-based and holistic approach to development, we work to enrich the mind, body and spirit. We assist with academic needs, teach social and emotional learning skills, provide other life skills and introduce youth to experiences they might not otherwise enjoy. Our youth come from families that struggle to help their children achieve their potential because they are burdened with their own issues. Our work with families provides support to mitigate situations impacting our students, such as hunger, homelessness, inadequate transportation, financial instability and other Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

Training the next generation of top business leaders – and instilling in them a strong and lasting connection to Israel. Our apolitical and business-focused approach differentiates us and changes the conversation around Israel. Our students participate in experiential learning through the lens of Israel in the form of education, pro-bono consulting for Israeli companies, Israeli investment research, and on-the-ground internships in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
